ances from floor, ceiling, and join-
ing wall.
You can locate model CGP20 and CGP20L
on floor, away from a wall. An optional

• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 36 inches
from the front, top, or sides of
the heater
• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These cur-
rents move heat to wall surfaces
next to heater. Installing heater
next to vinyl or cloth wall cover-
ings or operating heater where
impurities in the air (such as to-
bacco smoke) exist, may discolor
walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing heater in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 3 through 5.
